IDAHO'S BRAVE GIRL.
San Francisco Examiner.

A year ago a wonderful story of
the gallant fight of Theresa Tallert
with mountain lions while defending
her flock Of Angora goats on the
Little Lost river, was circulated far
and wide in American, and even
French papers. The story set forth
how, late one evening in her cabin.
in the foothills of eastern Idaho, she
was awakened by animals racing
around the stockade adjoining; how
she arose, and, with hand
axe and her dog Badger, she stole
out in the moonlight to find the
lions in pursuit OF her goats; how
nothing daunted, she attacked them
and cut one to the bone with her
axe, injured others, and causing the
whole, some six in all, to flee. over
the stockade wall. But the next
morning the brave girl discovered
that the Threats of many of the herd
had been cut, for fifty of them lay
dead on the ground.
After that, D. B. Hawley and 9TH
er raisers of Angora goats, those who
had suffered losses put their heads
together and organized a posse to
kill off the lions. They killed a great
many and pretty well cleaned them
out, it was thought. For some
months thereafter there were very
few of them seen around, and these
were very wary. Lately, however,
the lions have come to the front.
The foothills have seemed to be
swarming with them. They again
invaded the stockades and sucked
the blood OF the goats whose threats
they cut, Miss Tallert, who had lost
some more of her flock, and knew
that the lions came around there
quite often at night, got couple of
Winchesters and loaded them with
buckshot few nights ago. Then
she dug out the chinking between
the logs on the side of her cabin next
to the stockade, and from this port
hole she took up her station. Well,
IN five nights in this way she killed
thirteen mountain lions, and she says
she is not through with them yet.
Her herd of goats comprises some
FIVE hundred in all, and perhaps
thirty or fifty of these have been
killed in the last month or two"
Miss Tallert is German girl who
has been ranching on the Little Lost
river for three or four years. The
country round there is good for An
CORA goats, and she got her start by
working first for wages for Mr.. A. J.
Bruner, who is the biggest grower in
that region,

A snail's pace need not be used
any longer as % term more or less
indefinite. By an interesting expe-
riment at the Terre Haute Polytech-
mic the other day it was ascertained
exactly quoted by persons who favor
the use of exact terms, A half doz-
en- of the mollusks were permitted to
crawl between two points ten feet
apart and there the average pace
was ascertained. From this it was
easy enough to calculate that one
snail can crewl mile in just four
teen DAYS.

HE HAD TO WAIT.
Detroit Free Press.

On Michigan Central train the
other day as the butcher" came in
to the car with a basket of oranges
an old man, whose wife sat beside
him, was very anxious to buy half a
dozen, but she waved the boy on

him and began to lick his chops.

to the boy. ''IIe hain't eat a fig for
thirty years, and guess he can go

The boy passed on and returned
with peanuts. The old man was
ready for him, but the wife protest

"He can't eat EN-. It's been ten
years since he had a tooth in his
head, and he'd have to swallow 'em

Twenty minutes later the boy was
back with candy packages in which
there were prizes, and the old man
exclaimed:

A LARGE CITY.

1t any one were to walk one way
through all the streets of London, he
would be obliged to 60 distance of
two thousand six hundred miles, or
as far as it is across the American
continent from New York to San
Francisco. This will give an idea of
what would have to be done in order
to see even the greater part of Lon
don.
In our approach to this city, as
well as in our rambles through its
streets, we shall not be struck so
much by its splendid and imposing
appearance as by its immensely.
Go where we may, there seems to
be no end to the town. 1t is four
teen miles one way, and eight miles
the other, and contains population
of nearly four million people, which
Is greater, indeed, than that of
Switzerland or the Kingdoms of Den
mark and Greece combined We
are told on good authority that there
are more Scotchmen in London than
in Edinburgh, more Irishmen than
in Dublin, and more Jews than in
Palestine, with foreigners from all
parts of the world, including a great
number Of Americans. Yet there
are so many Englishmen in London,
that one is not likely to notice the
presence of these people of other ma
tions.
This vast body of citizens, some so
rich that they never can count their
money, and some so poor that they
never have any to count, eat every
year four hundred thousand oxen,
one and half million sheep, eight
million chickens and game birds, not
to speak of calves, hogs, and differ
ent kinds of fish. They consume five
hundred million oysters, which, al
though it seems like large number,
would only give, if equally divided
among all the people, one oyster
every third day to each person.
There are three hundred thousand
servants in London, enough people
to make large city; but as this
gives only one servant to each dozen
citizens, it is quite evident that
great many of the people must wait
on themselves. Things are very un-
equally divided in London; and |
have no doubt that instead of there
being one servant to twelve persons,
some of the rich lords and ladies
have twelve servants apiece From

ton, in st. Nicholas for June.

TWO COUSINS BLINDED IN A SINGH.
LAR MANNER.
New York Sun.

A few months ago w. A. Derby,
Of Ridgway, had one of his Eeyes put
out by splinter fly ing from stick
Of timber while he was operating a
buzz-saw. Derby would not go to
work at the saw again, fearing an
accident to his well eye, but went to
driving an OK team as about the
safest work he could do. A few days
ago he was driving his oxen, when
he struck one of them with his whip,
which had a hard leather lash. The
lash wound around the oxen's leg,
and the tip end Of the lash, a piece
of leather the size of pea was snap
ped Oft. 1t flew into Derby's well
eye with such force that it cut the
eyeball open and destroyed the sight,
rendering Derby totally blind.
The same day Lewis Caughey, of
Fairview, cousin of Derby's, who
had also lost an eye some time before
in a saw mill, was driving a horse
along the road, when a small stone
was thrown by the horses hoof. 1t

the idea that docking guilty" proves
guilty. An honest man charged
with crime is much more likely to
blush at the accusation than the real
offender, who is generally prepared

suspected of anything criminal will
bring the blood to any innocent

Held By the Enemy, VIM. Gillette's
American play, which will be presented
at the Grand Opera House next week.
has Just concluded the most successful
engagement ever known at the Baldwin
Theater, San Francisco. Manager Wy.
att received telegram from there last
evening that all the scenery. properties
and mechanical effects would be shipped
ON to.day's train from that city. Held
5y the Enemy received some very excel.
lent criticisms from the San Francisco
press. The following is from the Call OF
June 9th:
It is pleasure to state that the i'm
mediate success of Held by the Enemy on
Monday night was only slight prelim-
mary to a career of local prosperity.
The play suits the public and has come
to stay. Every great literary effort is
not q play, and we are glad OF it. And
every great play is not literary effort,
and we are glad of that. Held By the
Enemy is free from the sad effects of lit
erary effort. Its people are real people.
1t is racy Of the soil, full of life and
color, and shows many artistic touches.
Again we congratulate Mr.. Gillette on
his cleverness.
A "Susan" played as Miss Dillon plays
it in Held By The Enemy, would maks
any play 90. When that play, in addi-
tion, is clean, crisp, bright and breezy,
with pair of good looking sentimental
Young lovers and live newspaper man,
Il goes with a snap that is absolutely
sparkling. Held By the Enemy deserves
every good word that has been said OF it
The cast is excellent and the scener,
thoroughly appropriate. 1t is hard t.
see where either could be improved.
